Get back to the basics and remember what it is you enjoy about small stream fishing with Tenkara rods and accessories. You know the reasons you head out to the serenity of nature with just a rod and a fly. It’s not about having expensive gear. It’s not about pushing yourself to the limits. It’s not even about catching a record-breaking fish. You’re here because you know what it means to enjoy yourself. It’s just you, a rod, a fly, and time. Make the most of it.

Tenkara rods are named after a traditional Japanese method of fly fishing, literally translated as
“from heaven” or “from the skies.” People have been using this fresh-water fly fishing practice for over 200 years, relying on long, lightweight rods that don’t require additional equipment.

What’s interesting about the tenkara method (and equipment) is that it works well for both beginners and experts. If you’re just starting to discover the joys of fly fishing, you’ll find that it’s easiest to begin with Tenkara rods because they don’t require a heavy upfront investment or years of training. At the same time, the simple elegance of the tenkara approach is one that even the most expert fly fishermen can build upon.

When precision and skill matter, Tenkara rods are all you need – and Rock/Creek is the perfect supplier to ensure you’re ready to head to the stream.
